Max Hastings: The lynch mob culture sweeping the land now threatens all we hold dear

Our thanks to Jeff for this piece in the Mail. How on earth can such an intelligent man write on this issue, without pointing a finger of blame at feminists? Instead he cites the impact of social media alone. I despair. Insightful comments include this from Qsilver:

This is all because feminists have conflated unwanted sexual advances with rape and are applying their mentors words that all men are potential rapists. Feminism must be stopped.

Woman wins almost £600,000 with £1 bet after landing 12-fold accumulator

It’s all wrong. The start of the piece:

Steve Cook’s 92nd minute winner away at Newcastle United earned Bournemouth a much needed three points on Saturday (4 November). What the Cherries defender did not know is that it also won a woman almost £600,000 off a £1 bet.

The unnamed woman, who apparently has little interest in football and bets only because her son and husband watch football every weekend, landed a 12-fold accumulator which returned £574,278.41.

According to the Daily Mail, the 58-year-old’s son read the fixtures list out and she picked the teams because on the basis of whether she liked the sound of their names or not.

 

Daniel Storey (Football365) lied about what Mike Buchanan said on BBC Radio Nottingham

I sense there are now few people checking out Daniel Storey’s recent hit piece, so few people will have seen a comment I posted yesterday on the website:

A number of people have requested that I respond to the claims of Daniel Storey (the writer of this hit piece) about what I reportedly said in a discussion on BBC Radio Nottingham last Monday, 31 October. We’ve just posted on our YouTube channel the full discussion. The relevant section is 4:18 – 5:36. You will note that Storey has added, deleted, and changed words, and excluded altogether the comments made by the interviewer, for context. He has, in short, shown the same low level of journalistic integrity he’s shown in the article in general. This is gutter journalism, with the clear objective of stopping the next International Conference on Men’s Issues being held at St Andrew’s Stadium.
